We have our own smart search index setup to cover a particular folder of news items and it all works great except the index needs rebuilding a lot!
The current status of the index is this:
Indexed items: 0 Index file size: 52 B Index status: Ready Optimized: Yes Last update: 3/4/2015 1:32:22 PM Last rebuild: 5/18/2015 9:49:32 AM
So it is showing as being ready and optimized, but has 0 indexed items.
If I manually rebuild it I then get this:
Indexed items: 124 Index file size: 1.6 MB Index status: Ready Optimized: Yes Last update: 5/20/2015 12:32:16 PM Last rebuild: 5/20/2015 12:32:16 PM
And it all works beautifully. So the question is does anyone know how to stop it getting out of sync or how I can add some sort of scheduled task to keep rebuilding it so I don't have to keep checking and doing it manually?
Hi,
there is Scheduled task Optimize search indexes and Execute search tasks. I think by default it is disabled. So you can set when to run.
Here is more info: https://docs.kentico.com/display/K8/Monitoring+search+indexing+tasks
Found it, thank you, fingers crossed that will do the trick.
this is screen from my current project. Select Scheduled Tasks, sites - global and you should see this tasks.
I have just checked the results of this following the weekend and it doesn't appear to have worked. I think the task I need is to actually Rebuild Indexes, do you know if there is any such task I can add to the schedule?
Thanks
